she can watch a sunset on her own

but i want to watch it with her.
i hope she knows she doesnt have
to be alone.
my mind numb on how to make this
skin thicker.

i havent known her for as long as others,
but i hope she gives me the chance to show
how much that she mesmerizes me,
captivated in a way i've never known.

i can sit alone in darkness
for long hours in the night.
forgetting these ascetic feelings,
if i just have her by my side.

i could be in a crowd of thousands,
but still notice those dark eyes shine.
and feel that unbelievable feeling
that she knows she gives me inside.

i thought this would get harder,
and this time i was right
i know she can watch a sunset on her own
but i'll be with her to watch it rise.
